What next? Having a break from it! LOL
Narr, have another mirror housing to do and a rear panel.......rear panel I am not looking forward to. originally, I wasn't going to do this, so when cleaning, covered it in silicone...so it's gonna take a lot to shift it. Not like it's a smooth surface either. So not only will silicone be right in there, bit it will take a lot of flatting back!
Nice one Mr P
Meshed mine
That is about the only nice meshed facelift grille I've seen!! Looks good with that honeycombe centre.
Cheers...So good I made two of emOriginally Posted by SimonP
Used stainless mesh + hammerite
Good one. As a rule of thumb, I hate mesh. Silver mesh is grim usually, especially in the format that you see on chaved up bumpers rammed full of the stuff, it's tacky and generally very poor quality.
In small amounts as you have here, black honey combe mesh looks good. It's in the right place too. Ace.
Get yourself some panel wipe before you start this time!!

Will panel wipe disolve silicone?
Decent colour match. Fairly happy with the result.
Conclusion...grille is a horrid thing to spray, so many angles and so many tight areas..plus being metallic, it makes it that bit harder.
looks good si. saw your mirror back thread the other day. you seem to be a budding bodywork expert!! thats one very clean bargain cav!
panel wipe should rid of any silicone on your boot panel.
Thanks for the comments Pete. Gives me more confidence to do more of it.
Going to invest in some panel wipes and barcote. Might try and get hold of a compressor some day.
We should set up a wheel re furb and body bits spraying business
Wouldn't mind doing that actually. Wouldn't want to do accident repair, just resto jobs. Be quite satisfying.
I need waaayyyyyyyy more practice though.
